15:23 for me on this one which is one of the very few times I’ve solved it faster than your explanation-filled video. I’ll take it! Would never have gotten there without these videos.
Thank you very much, you have improved my Sudoku skills a lot. Before following you I could never solve a NYT Hard Sudoku, and now I can almost always solve them. My time is normally 3x yours, today was the first time I finished under your time, thanks to finding the 28 pair in b6 early. Thanks again for the great content.
I enjoyed this puzzle but only because I've learnt so much from your videos. I think the key learning for me has been to stop marking all cells when it gets difficult but step back and look at the geometry. I did eventually spot the 18 pair and quickly followed up with the hidden 7 and finished in 23 minutes.
26:57 - i also found it a bit of a slog, but i ended around the same time as yesterday... i need a lot more work on spotting geometry and such... thanks for your walkthrough
You were struggling with 8s? There is a 28 pair in b6 right from the beginning. After 4mins you also had a 18 pair in b2. Those helped me a lot. Final piece for cracking the puzzle was finding where the 2 goes in b3. There is a 27 pair in r3 (because of that 18 pair) so 7s can go only in r1 in b3. That gives pretty easy 2 in r2 b3.
I can't remember when and how the puzzle finally collapsed, although it happened before I completely centermarked the grid. 11:20 Block 2 has a 18 pair, that I didn't notice until much later, unfortunately.
Longest time I've had in weeks but 18:55. I missed the pointing six's for at least 5 minutes even though I had them corner marked since the beginning 😭 Btw looking back i found the pairs in row 3 by spotting the 18 first and it took me so long to mark the 3 in box 1 cause for some reason I followed up on the 2 but not 3 😅
Kinda surprised...thought you would find this one easy. Usually takes me a while to complete the hard one but today 3:58 .....whereas medium today took me 12:16
With stuff like this, solve path can make a big difference. Also, I'm not saying this happened with you, but it is possible to make a "lucky mistake" that trivializes the puzzle.

28:55 the pairs i found helped me a lot
18:34! A good day for me. 😀 Good tips as always!

12:36 found the 168 triple in second band right away, placing the 8 and making a 16 pair

11:27 for me. Once again, the medium was much more difficult today. Very interesting.
This is just to funny, my cat jumped on the key board and place a 7 for me in box 9 and for giggles I played it and it help me finished.
I kept waiting for you to get the 2/8 Pair in the sixth cell to show you the hidden three.

I got stuck at the exact 18 pair as you. 😢
15:33 for me!
14:26!!!! career high
15:25 to solve.
When you get stuck do you ever clear all the pencil marks and start over from that point?
I feel like u made it hard cause this was the first time im faster then u! saw a lot of hidden doubles early though.
24:41. This one was right in my wheelhouse, I guess.
Any chance you were planning on the medium walkthrough? Stuck on something there...
Just for you :) ruclips.net/video/YIbwPHL4oYo/видео.html
